SYNOPSIS:
The Jesus Music Documentary Film
With stirring songs of faith, love, and hope, Jesus music rose from America’s 1960s
counterculture movement to become a worldwide phenomenon. This fascinating
documentary reveals the music’s uplifting and untold story — from its humble beginnings at
the Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California through its transformation into the multibillion-
dollar industry of Christian Contemporary Music today. Directed by the Erwin Brothers ("I
Can Only Imagine," “I Still Believe”, “American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story”), THE
JESUS MUSIC is the definitive love letter to CCM fans that features intimate interviews with
the genre’s biggest stars including Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, TobyMac, Kirk Franklin,
and Lauren Daigle. With stories of trials and triumphs, the universal power of music from
these artists shine through from their messages of passion, sacrifice, and redemption that
inspire millions of devoted listeners.
